Well, we hate to end the fun but we''re ending our efforts for the evening. Thanks to all who joined our NPR.org live-chat coverage of President Obama's 2013 SOTU speech and the Republican response. Thanks, also, for all your comments. Sorry we couldn't get more of them in the stream. Keep listening to NPR and reading NPR.org.
